‘A group of West Bank settlers on Saturday beat a 31-year-old Palestinian man in the southern Hebron Hills, after having tied him to a telephone pole.
Left-wing activists later videoed a settler kicking Madahat Abu-Kirash, the victim, as he remained tied up and was surrounded by Israeli security forces. The soldiers subsequently removed the settler from the scene…
“When we arrived at the scene there were already lots of the army’s troops. I saw a settler approach him and kick him, as he was tied to the pole… [Abu-Kirash's] whole body was bound up, I saw they bandaged a head wound and he was half unconscious,” said a Ta’ayush activist who was present during the incident.’ [my emph.]

Is the owner of this site Isreali?
Technically, yes.
Why would you leave your land?
To annoy you.
What do you think of Israel? do you prefer it to Great Britain?
Why the fuck do you care?

TC is a mate of mine, for what it matters.
Thanks for the link, Dave. Israel gets away with stuff like that all the time, sadly, and it’s barely even reported.
Just today, according to Ma’an News, Israeli forces “arrested” at least 26 Palestinians in the West Bank. Where they’ve gone, and to what treatment they are being subjected, is a mystery. To give an example of the arbitrariness of the system, the Hamas government today asked Israel to clarify the fate of four Palestinian brothers who were ‘detained’ two months ago and who haven’t been heard from since. We hear endlessly about Gilad Shalit, but a Google News search for the names of these four abductees returns precisely zero results. The effect of this slanted coverage, where a “period of calm” occurs only when Palestinians stop attacking Israelis, is that people find it impossible to imagine the daily brutality inflicted on the Palestinians, the constant grind of military occupation.
if someone asks a question it doesn’t mean they care it means they wish to find out information.
But if they don’t care, why would they wish to find out the information? Aaaaaaaanyway, Andrew, dear, whoever you are, this is getting really boring, so let’s just leave this (whatever ‘this’ is) here, k?
Interest.
what are your future plans career wise?
you sure have a neat web-site.
Not that you were asking me, but I’ve been to Israel three times. I enjoyed an afternoon at the seafront in Tel Aviv, but other than that it is pretty much a toilet with very little going for it. It has nothing on dear old Blighty.
